Dimensional Kaleidoscope Dresden Table Topper (June 3rd)

Date: Saturday, June 3rd, 2017

Time: 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM

COST: $10.00

As if looking through a kaleidoscope, this beautiful Dresden Plate design offers an infinite array of pattern variations complete with straight, pointed, curved and decorative edges for unique looks. Plus, easy-to-piece layered wedges and insertion wedges take Dresden Plate designs to the third-dimension. The possibilities are endless!! I chose some summer patriotic fabrics for this project because I’m feeling the warm weather coming on! The ruler and project book come together as a pack and we will have it here at the store for sale at about $18. The design we will be making is one of MANY in the project book, AND the ruler allows you to create 19 sizes of Dresden Plate wedges! Also, feel free to change up the fabrics to whatever suits your color palette. This is a very easy project and makes a quick gift for a friend or family member especially if you know their favorite color schemes. We can complete this project in one day so the cost will be just $10. Get ready for summer and join me for a wonderful and creative class! Hope to see you all soon!!
